Levi Jouavel completed her A-levels in June 2018 and secured a BBC apprenticeship that same year, going on to work as a digital journalist at the BBC. Her date of birth, parents, and hometown are not publicly confirmed, though based on the A-levels timeline she was likely born around 2000–2001 and is based in Greater London.

Jouavel came through the BBC’s digital apprentice scheme and most recently worked for BBC Radio 1 Newsbeat prior to joining BBC Three. She worked as a journalist researcher at BBC Newsbeat before being appointed as a presenter on The Catch Up.

When BBC Three returned to linear television on 1 February 2022, The Catch Up launched as a weeknight bulletin produced by BBC News, with Levi Jouavel, Kirsty Grant and Callum Tulley as its regular presenting team. The show aims to help young people make sense of the world around them and also highlights optimistic stories.

The bulletin was designed to tell stories in a “relaxed conversational way” to appeal to 16 to 34-year-olds, meeting both BBC Three’s editorial aims and Ofcom’s requirement for the channel to carry a nightly weekday news bulletin. No information about Levi Jouavel’s current personal or family life is publicly available.
